"The speech was so powerful," Gingrich said to host Sean Hannity. "I think people will look back on this and say, 'What a historic turning point.' ... He's talking to the leadership of the Sunni world and they're taking it. They're applauding it."

On Wednesday, Gingrich wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post in which he praised Trump's speech as a "decisive shift in U.S. foreign policy."

"Never before has an American president tried so clearly to unite the civilized world, including the nations of the Middle East and Africa, against the forces of terrorism," he wrote. "Never before has an American president issued so direct a challenge to those nations to do more in the fight. And never before has an American president so plainly put the ultimate responsibility for eradicating terrorism on the nations of the region."

Newt is likely correct — if there is follow-through.

And Gingrich will be remembered by me for sharing a couch with Nancy Pelosi.

There is so much potential for over-the-top outspoken fun with Newt in Europe while Callista is Ambassador to the Vatican!

I am surprised that the WaPo printed this. I guess they want to have one article out of 1000’s printed that they can point to as supportive of trump. So now it is 99.9% against Trump and .1% in support.

The Sunni leadership knows their heads will be on the chopping block if the ISIS extremists win. They will forever have to be on guard as long as the Islamic extremist push their Islamicist agenda.

It is in their interests to cooperate with President Trump.

But for their types, in their cultures and religions, a bit of duplicity never hurts. Fund some terrorists, in the country next door or across the water.

If they were completely solid, there would be some royals heading for prison or worse.

Par for the course in Power Politics.

They are all Machiavellian power politicians.

Trust but verify.

Having a politician who does not understand Machiavelli is a dangerous thing.

I believe Trump knows Machiavelli backwards and forwards.

The best part is how Trump adjusts his jacket after brushing off the Eurodork.

Epic.

Wish that Trump would act this tough at home against the likes of HC and Comey. Both are still scott-free and will, in all probability with the help of the MSM, be his downfall if he does not watch out. DJT is starting to resemble GWB who never defended himself against the slings of his enemies.

His Discourses on Livy is indeed terrific. It was a go-to reference for the Enlightenment philosophers and our framing generation. The timeless lessons of keeping republics are worth knowing.

I don’t think Trump is as soft as GWB. But time will tell...
